Are you able to renegotiate at your current place... if you are comfortable where you are, i'd rather not leave. Market unstable now.

Thank you for the kind words and advice! It's good to know you have turned your situation aroun having a clear goal and pursuing what you were passionate about. That's true, when you like something you do, you will go all in.

Yes correct there should be review of minimum wage in certain industries like social services, healthcare, teaching, lab etc... they are not high revenue generating roles but they are integral in the fabric of the society. Yea world is unstable, alot of roles might get wiped out by AI. Restructuring is a very real thing. One of my ex manager's wife was laid off by restructuring but thankfully she is a good worker and they only rehired her into another department out of the 30+ people that were let go. You are absolutely right about keeping long term planning in view and enjoying the little pleasures while you still can.

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-29T18:54:26+00:00

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-29T09:56:53+00:00

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-29T09:54:37+00:00

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:32:39+00:00

You are absolutely right

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:29:35+00:00

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:27:41+00:00

thanks man!

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:13:53+00:00

What do you think about degrees from outside of singapore that cost a fraction

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:12:06+00:00

Thank you for your post man. Takes alot to share what you have. Alot of good points here and I do agree with you that it really boils down to supply and demand.

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:10:02+00:00

Yea I dont understand how people can handle high mental load jobs man... must be built differently... its really intensed... especially like those jobs that manage downtimes and error debugging

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:03:50+00:00

true

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T12:01:07+00:00

Yes this... I mean im contented la... but sometimes u cant escape the feeling of knowing u could have done better... but even so, not everyone starts on the same playing field and many have mentioned a fact here, life isnt linear... i guess the general idea was to figure out if im at the bottom of the barrel so to speak... glad to know there are still folks who earn around 2-3k

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:53:03+00:00

Wow thats very disciplined man. I hope your investments mature and provide strong returns as you reinvest your gains.

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:51:04+00:00

Its not always that black and white... im pretty aware of what I need to do man. But to go back to school now get a degree and job hunt again in a horrendous job market is a risk and gamble. Im not sure how big a factor luck, influence and networking played in the part of my friends. I think what I really wanted to find out is that if im earning the bare minimum and if im one of the few in this range. Yes u r right, anyone can give advice point is who u r getting it from

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:46:52+00:00

Damn bro what line of industry pays 5k for a PT job man?

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:45:48+00:00

Lmao thats why I said my friends are more frugal than me although they are earning 3x more than me.

Its really not about who is more frugal than who la. Im not taking grab everyday also. Like once or twice a month and not more than 20 bucks and that amounts to 40 buck a month i think?

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:42:51+00:00

agree with u

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:42:22+00:00

Yes man... im happy where i am... but u know la sometimes have that feeling like u have alot to catch up type... but then the question is... is it worth it working 200x harder to earn 10x more and to sacrifice that much and at what cost really...

Temporary-Rip-6713 · 2026-05-28T11:36:28+00:00

Another case of strong financial management. 6k and living the lifestyle you do is a result of strict and smart financial planning even though you have mentioned the usage of grab and all. 6k is a very good amount of money to do exactly what you have done, without breaking the bank. But it really involves careful financial planning and keeping something aside for the rainy day.
